Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are a breed of semiconductor device designed to enable the user to be able to rapidly configure a system according to their own desired specifications and budgets. With a rich array of design options and performance benefits, FPGAs are nowadays core embedded devices in a very wide range of applications. The EP4CGX150DF27C8 is one of the latest FPGA chips developed by Altera Corporation, offering a very efficient and cost-effective solution for a plethora of embedded projects.

EP4CGX150DF27C8 - Features and Applications

The EP4CGX150DF27C8 places itself among the first to hit the market with an integrated transceiver support, allowing users to deploy the chip into serial high-speed and communication tasks. This chip features nearly 124,000 logic elements and 68 DSP blocks. It is also paired with a 2,400 Kbits of block RAM and a variety of other features, such as clock management and phase-locked loops (PLLs). The transceiver support of the chip is equipped with all the necessary features that can be used to seamlessly serve ethernet and serial transceiver applications.

Additionally, with a very power-efficient architecture, the EP4CGX150DF27C8 is suitable to be used in all kinds of energy-sensitive applications and power-restricted markets. With support for multiple logic families, it is considered as one of the most flexible chips, able to meet the needs of the most demanding engineers and products. This chip is particularly efficient in industrial automation, aerospace, automotive, biomedical, and portable devices which require high system performance, low latency and are confronted with stringent power budgets.

EP4CGX150DF27C8 - Working Principle

The EP4CGX150DF27C8, as other FPGAs, offers the possibility for the user to have complete control over crafting their own application-tailored algorithms, in order to program the chip with their own desired functions. This is done by using a programming language for FPGAs, such as Verilog or VHDL, which are used to allow designers program the logic elements of the chip.

In order to program the chip, the user needs to compile their own code on a software development platform, such as Quartus Prime. This kind of environment allows users to have control over every detail of their implementations and eliminates the need of manual wiring, which was the traditional way of making complex functions. After coding a program, the user then needs to send the compiled code to a configuration device, such as a Flash Memory or an EEPROM, which stores the program and configures the chip, once the device is connected to the EP4CGX150DF27C8.

After configuring the chip, the user can control the desired logic elements which were set. This gives the opportunity to the designer of creating virtually any kind of custom configurations and algorithms, offering the ultimate freedom in creating ultra-complex systems in a shorter span of time.

Conclusion

Carrying innovative features and offering flexible design options, the EP4CGX150DF27C8 is a very competitive FPGA chip from Altera Corporation. Its support for multiple logic families and its integration of transceiver support make it a suitable candidate for a plethora of applications, from serial high-speed communications to energy-sensitive and resource-restrictive projects. Furthermore, the possibility for designers to freely create heart-based systems thanks to its user-programmable elements, greatly expand its potential of applications.
